Chihshang Mukye Resort Introduction
Stepping into Chihshang Farm Resort, you are greeted by an expansive vista of lush green fields. In the distance, verdant mountains are wrapped in white clouds, while nearby are rich pasturelands in vibrant green. This area was originally a sugarcane field for the Taitung Sugar Factory, which ceased sugar production in 1986 and transformed into a cattle ranch. In 1994, it evolved into a resort. To establish a unique character, in 2000, several cultural artifacts and facilities reflecting Mongolian culture were introduced, including 17 yurts serving as accommodation, fluttering banners of Mongolian tribes, Mongolian-style meals such as whole roasted lamb and pig, a ground chessboard for Mongolian chess, Mongolian chariots pulled by over 20 horses, and performances by Mongolian warriors, creating a strong ambiance of the pastoral lands of the steppes, which has become a distinctive feature of Chihshang Farm Resort. Since 2003, Chihshang Farm Resort has collaborated with the Taipei Zoo to introduce various rare herbivorous animals, including pygmy hippos, Przewalski's horses, blackbuck antelopes, Chapman’s zebra, llamas, barasingha, Bactrian camels, elands, and emus. Coupled with horses, sheep, sika deer, and herds of cattle, it resembles a small zoo, providing another attraction for visitors. This resort spans 125 hectares and is currently open for free visits. It is recommended that you rent a bicycle and ride along the long, shaded boulevard of wax trees at the entrance, immersing yourself in this picturesque scenery filled with the charm of the steppes, strolling on the lush grasslands, and appreciating the tranquil pastoral views. Of course, don't forget to set aside some time to enjoy the exciting performances and cultural exhibits, experience the fun of Mongolian culture, and savor various high-quality products from Taiwan Sugar and Mongolian cuisine.
